A blue jay got a drink at breakfast. A goldfinch got a drink from the oversized ant moat protecting the hummer feeder. K saw a hummer at the front yard feeder but I did not see any in back. I did glimpse an osprey soaring and an egret fishing. However, the wind grounded a lot of fliers. A family of geese with three goslings waddled up to the pool cover. The goslings seemed to be either very attached to each other or trying to establish a pecking order.
The female goldfinch returned at lunch. A blue tailed skink paused in the sun. As usual, there was an egret fishing below the dam.
A brown thrasher, I think, sang and sang in the afternoon, but I never saw him. I did see, but failed to photograph, a downy woodpecker and a tufted titmouse. A young fox came to the door but my reaching for the camera spooked it. Later, a turtle trundled along the edge of the pool walkway. I suppose it was looking for a good nest site.
